Media API Version 2.2 Build 2.2.5 Release Notes

SEO Headline

The new SEO headline field (available starting August 1, 2023 for selected text content) describes what the text story is about in up to 100 characters using keywords that make it easily discoverable by search engines, increasing readership. This new optional field ("headline_seo" in JSON and <headline role="aprol:seoHeadline"> in NewsML-G2) is returned in addition to the main headline and extended headline fields.

No existing fields are being changed or removed. The SEO headline field will not be returned if SEO headline is not added by AP editors. When available, the new field will appear after the headline and extended headline fields in both JSON and NewsML-G2.
